SHAKING with fear, Leeanne Kulinich read the sick threats her ex-boyfriend had penned in a terrifying notebook.

Twisted Darren Scott had already threatened to slash the 26-year-old’s face and petrol bomb her home.

But it was when police searched his house after he was remanded in custody that a chilling notebook he had named Project Leeanne was found.

In it the 42-year-old described his evil, and at times bizarre, fantasies of what he would do to the mother of his four-year-old daughter.

Scott wrote how he planned to “Burn the b**** and blame it on spontaneous combustion”.

The chilling notebook went on to describe how he would dance around as she burned and scream before getting a vet to “put her down”.

Scott was jailed for two years at Newcastle Crown Court after pleading guilty to breaching a restraining order.

And Leeanne, of South Shields, has told how she is terrified of her ex who she fears could be released in just a few weeks due to time he served while on remand.

She said: “Darren could be out of jail before too long so I am terrified.

“I am living in fear – I am terrified he will carry out the awful threats he made.

“He made my life hell and I ended up a prisoner in my own home. I was scared to leave the house on my own.

“Every time he went to court he ended up being released on remand again.

“When he was eventually kept in custody the police found the notebook at his flat.

“It was chilling reading it – I really believe he would have gone though with his threats.

“It was just so twisted. My blood rang cold to think that he could even imagine these things.”

Darren wrote in the notebook: “Method 1: Dig a deep pit, chuck her in, pour on turps, take off clothes, chuck firestick in, watch her engulf like the witch she is, dance around to a rhythmic pulse.

“Lift knees higher acordin (sic) to the pitch of her screams chant mistic (sic) chants and howl under the moon, add more turps, howl like the wolfman on the moors.

“Ask a vet to put her down and then dance happily naked under the moon.”

Scott, of Russell Street, Jarrow, South Tyneside, had already breached a non-molestation order and restraining order made by Leeanne in March last year at South Shields County Court, two months after the pair separated.

As a result he received a six-month suspended jail sentence in October last year, but breached it again just one month later.

As a result Scott was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court in August.

Judge David Wood, sentencing, told him: “I’m sure anyone understands that the break-up of any relationship is a difficult thing to deal with, especially when children are involved.

“It’s clear from reports that you have a number of problems that are not of your making.

“It is also clear that it is feared you are high risk to any partners you may have in the future, and a risk to children as well.”

Leeanne, who has a four-year-old daughter with Scott, added: “We broke up but Darren couldn’t accept it.

“He would make silent phone calls to me and said he was going to petrol bomb my house.

“When I saw the notebook I realised just how lucky I had been not to come to serious harm.”
